 (2 Customer Reviews)
Blizzard Beasts, Immortal's third album, sounds like a rush job when compared to the rest of the band's triumphant catalog. The majesty of the group's songwriting is buried in the album's subpar production values, which render the potentially brilliant hyperspeed riffing and drum battery gutless and ineffectual. "Nebular Ravens Winter," "Suns That Sank Below," and "Frostdemonstorm" offer a few decent riffs and solid arrangements, and six-minute epic "Mountains of Might" leans toward the black-metal-by-way-of-German-thrash genius of subsequent albums -- but the rest of the record shows little progression from predecessor Battles in the North. Ultimately, Blizzard Beasts should be chalked up as a transitional album in Immortal's mighty career, being the last to feature guitarist and founding member Demonaz (he quit after a bout with tendonitis); bassist/vocalist Abbath would take over six-string and songwriting duties, ultimately leading the band out of blastbeat hell and across more broad-scoped, epic terrain. Still, it's hard to write off Blizzard Beasts as a failure; the record is brilliant when compared to similar Norwegian black metal acts mired in ludicrous "necro" aesthetics, but it just doesn't match up with Immortal's usual balance of underground credibility with high production and songwriting standards. ~ John Serba

Blizzard Beasts
 $11.65 
1992 release for Scandinavian metal act. Six tracksincluding, 'The Call of the Wintermoon', 'Unholy Forces of Evil', 'Cryptic Winterstorms' & 'Cold Winds of FeneralDust'. Osmose Productions.
Immortal's debut, Diabolical Full Moon Mysticism, presents the germ of a soon-to-be-great black metal outfit -- and, as one would expect, it's as rancid and unholy as other early Norse efforts, albeit a hair more melodic and listenable than some of its peers. Here, the group hasn't yet developed the songwriting dynamics and musicianship showcased on later efforts; the unkempt production leaves bass back in the dank caves from whence Immortal emerged, the drums and guitars ...
| | Immortal At The Heart Of Winter CD (1999)
Blizzard Beasts
$12.89
At the Heart of Winter marks the beginning of Immortal's second incarnation, paring the band down to the duo of Abbath Doom Occulta and Horgh after the departure of guitarist and founding member Demonaz Doom Occulta due to severe tendonitis in his arms. Thus, Abbath alone took over six-string and songwriting duties (although Demonaz still contributed his trademark fantastical war- and winter-themed lyrics), and Immortal progressed beyond their blurry, hyperspeed, under-produced past into muscular metal maturity, melding frostbitten Norwegian black metal with the intricate riffing and tempo changes of German thrash. Which isn't to say the group abandoned blastbeats or Abbath's throaty reptilian croak; within the lengthy, creatively arranged epics "Withstand the Fall of Time," "Years of Silent Sorrow," and "Tragedies Blows at Horizon" lies a balance of battle-ready blitzkrieg and grandiose, anthemic melodies only hinted at in Immortal's previous output (see "Mountains of Might" on the preceding album, Blizzard Beasts). The ...

| | Immortal Sons Of Northern Darkness CD (2002) Bonus DVD
Blizzard Beasts
$13.35   
Immortal's Nuclear Blast debut, and this Norwegian trio's seventh album to date, Sons of Northern Darkness, marks a monumental statement that reverberates throughout the black metal community. Sons of Northern Darkness is arguably one of the best black metal releases ever put forth, as it fully articulates what many other bands of this nature fail to embrace. Thick, meaty riffs dominate the album, as guitarist Abbath shreds the competition with mind-blowing melody and relentlessly brutal power. Abbath also controls vocal duty, and though his voice is darkly sinister, it holds a slight fringe of harmony that fleshes out each song. Add to that Iscariah's fiendish bass playing underlying Sons of Northern Darkness with an evil authority, while Horge's drumming decimates the competition with jackhammer beats. The fantastical lyrics allow the band to venture into ...
| | Bathory CD
Blizzard Beasts
$16.65
This record has a historical importance separate from its simple status as a musical statement. This album is regarded by many as the first black metal record, a genre that purported to take metal not simply into well-charted Satanic waters, but into the Nordic pagan past of these young Scandinavian men, eerily similar to the message Hitler once sent to an earlier generation of Teutonic teenagers. Unfortunately, the results were much the same. Scenesters, including members of this band, ...

| | Johnny Hates Jazz Turn Back The Clock CD (1987)
Blizzard Beasts
$8.69
With their dapper attire, clean-cut image, and glossy production, Johnny Hates Jazz were too slick to receive any respect. Consequently, the group's debut album Turn Back the Clock was unjustly thrashed in the press. Best known for its bittersweet hit single "Shattered Dreams," Turn Back the Clock is actually a well-crafted LP. On "Shattered Dreams," vocalist Clark Datchler sings of a breakup over a finger-snapping, synthesized groove. The success of the song is no mystery; it is unbelievably catchy. However, there are actually better ones on the album. The sentimental lyrics and shimmering keyboards of the title track express heartfelt feelings of nostalgia. The music on Turn Back the Clock is generally upbeat synth pop, but the words are often sad. Although Johnny ...

Chris Blackwell, founder of Island records and discoverer of Bob Marley, Marianne Faithful, and Grace Jones, came out of 18 years of retirement to take this rare beauty & huge talent under his wing.... Sultry, mysterious, boundless & impossible to label, Christy enters the scene as a highly original image, performer and songwriter whose vocal and piano prowess consistently drops jaws.A child prodigy, her music began with classical training which evolved on to the blues all the while under the encouragement of masters such as Macarthur award recipients Ran Blake and George Russell; this led to the creation of her first album "The Blues" at the age of 15. Always a mover, in a 180 degree turn Christy then moved away from the blues, poised to bring her extremely individual sound to the mainstream market.Just at the point of being ready to progress her performance career, Christy was struck down with Crohn's Disease. The 6 year battle with the disease plunged Christy into a well of human experience revealing much of life's deepest lessons and values. Her perception, performance power and depth of humanity are borne of a journey ...
